Will Forte
Fox picked up the pilot for Last Man on Earth back in October as a single camera comedy that was created by Will Forte and now the project is moving forward with a series order, though how many episodes is not clear yet. The show, which centers a stranger who becomes the last human on Earth, now has Will Forte set to star in it and the pilot will be directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller of The LEGO Movie fame, who will also serve as executive producers alongside Seth Cohen. The series is getting an off-cycle commitment and it’s expected to be part of the early 2015 midseason slot, though with Fox now avoiding the pilot season in general, it could end up elsewhere as they seek to bring more viewers year round rather than the typical season.
